Strategically re-engineered the lateral system of the existing 530 building so core functions could be shared, resulting in separate but cohesive structures that act as one. This cost-effective, ingenuitive scheme eliminated the need for redundant stairs and elevators, maximized leasable space, and created a unique opportunity for a large, single-use tenant space.
Provided an innovative hybrid mild/post-tension concrete system to accommodate existing tight floor-to-floor heights while meeting stringent vibration and slab performance objectives.
Streamlined future tenant buildouts with forward thinking designs that factored in future coring zones and knockouts without the need for scanning.
Leveraged results of extensive collaboration through pull planning sessions and 3-D modeling to efficiently complete construction in less than two years
Created a welcoming entry plaza with varying grades through coordination with SDOT and landscaping that both complemented the entry and responded to Green Stormwater Infrastructure requirements. Teamed with SCL to underground utilities in this busy gateway to South Lake Union.
Coordinated with SCL and SDOT to lessen the impact of ongoing Mercer East Corridor construction on this project.
Reduced the risk of future costly redevelopment for the owner and the city by leveraging our understanding of the needs of this science and technology neighborhood and designing for future conditions.
